Ian Hudghton (Verts/ALE ), in writing. ‒ The UK has decided not to opt in to this legislation and that is a position I can support. The Commission failed to show that this proposal brings any added value and accordingly it fails to meet the subsidiarity requirements set out in the EU Treaty. I therefore abstained in this vote.
